Ride for the 96: Hillsborough Memorial/Charity Bike Ride

To all LFC fans, and all football fans

On April 13th, 14th and 15th 2012, I'll be riding my bike 260 miles from my home in Bungay, Suffolk to Anfield, via Hillsborough.

I'm riding in the memory of the 96 Liverpool FC fans who died in the Hillsborough stadium disaster, and to raise money for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign (HJC), Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG), and the Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation.

More details about the event, and why I'm doing it can be found on the official page here:

The full route over the 3 days can be found here:

With only a few short weeks remaining before the ride, I'm desperately seeking help in getting sponsors and spreading the word about the ride.

Please:

- Like the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/rideforthe96
- Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/subvertbeats
- Consider sponsoring me: http://www.justgiving.com/rideforhillsborough

Anything you can do to help raise awareness or help get closer to the sponsorhip target would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, YNWA!
